Motherfuckers needa read some Luxemburg and understand that you don't get to just call out "alright mass strike time baby, come on working class people join us".
But if you read that garbage and still can't start a strike then how does reading it actually help? You're being a liberal right now. Cucks like theory.
How can we actually start a general strike? Maybe try trying you pussy.
Dunno if you're being ironic, but the whole point of the works I reference (The Mass Strike and Theory & Practice) is that the Mass Strike can't be viewed as a singular isolated event sparked by a singular call to strike. That level of solidarity must be forged through smaller strikes and extended class struggle. The working class as a whole ain't going to just read a couple well worded polemics and collectively risk their jobs. No it needs to be shown how solidarity and strikes and resistance helps them and those around them. Then as more and more people get engaged, they can see (with the help of and united struggle with educated, dedicated comrades) how their economic interests align with others and how political goals are necessary. Even then the Mass Strike doesn't end up being a singular force with a singular goal; it has that big political goal, but constantly explodes in spontaneous regional outbursts over local issues. It is messy, chaotic, and it is historical. The 1905 Russian Revolution didn't start in 1904, it started in the the mid-1890's with the first smatterings of urban proletarian acts of resistance and solidarity - the socialist forces, which were not very strong beforehand, coming to prominence (after being primarily intellectuals for decades) over the next decade+ through escalating tensions, REPEATED struggles and attempts at spreading the Socialist message through the proles (and it was basically the same with a different timeline for SRs and the Peasants).
So no I don't just want to read books. People can call for a general strike all they want, but don't expect it to amount to anything other than weak agitation. Praxis and local struggles, like always, are the fucking key
I dont think anyone is against trying it, go for it if you want, its just that it will very likely not work, so using important resources on it is wasting these resources. Plus, every time it is tried and doesnt work, people grow less optimistic towards it.
"they should read more books" is a very liberal answer to dealing with oppressive capitalism and institutional rot. Try being less liberal. Try doing leftism instead of liberalism. Go on twitter and talk about a general strike more. You realize thats how social media works, right? Just fucking use their hashtag and talk about how powerful it'd be. Ya'll are just butthurt and scared that no one will retweet you so you stay here complaining. You're just liberals who liked emo instead of the grateful dead.
lol ya the CIA cares about your posts. delusional liberal. If you want there to be a general strike then talk about it more. Talk to people who don't already agree. And talk to those people in a way they actually want to listen. Books about theory don't help a guy worker 70 hours a week and barely paying the rent. You. Are. Being. A. Liberal.
I think it was more about not wanting to have to type out the whole theory in a comment?
And i dont use social media except chacha, i wont start because of that.
By the way, why are you so pissed? O_o
Everything okay? Need to talk about something?
ya, real rigorous process you got. you literally read enough twitter to unlearn how it works. If enough people talk about it, it'll happen. Thats the entirety of the process. Talk about it more. Tell people to talk about it more. Ya'll are getting cucked by twitter so hard. #GeneralStrike

It's the classic wrecker strategy of taking a halfway-decent point and presenting it in the most divisive, destructive way possible.

This is probably a good joke that went badly
You think 100 year old fairy tales are the answer to twitter. You dumb. Way to liberal.
